Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 58-3-228, Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin has advised insurance companies and other entities licensed under North Carolina insurance law that, during a declared state of emergency or disaster, they must have a procedure in place to waive time restrictions on filling or refilling prescriptions for medication if requested by the covered person or subscriber. A State of Emergency was proclaimed for the entire state of North Carolina on Feb. 11, 2014, in preparation for the arrival of a winter storm.
